Happy April Fools' Day

...from gmail.

It goes like this: gmail now offers a service whereby you can order paper copies (gasp!) of all your emails, and they'll deliver them to you for free. Check out the FAQs:


Are attachments included?


All part of the deal. Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper, and secured to your Gmail Paper with a paper clip. MP3 and WAV files will not be printed. We recommend maintaining copies of your non-paper Gmail in these cases.

Is there a limit?


You can make us print one, one thousand, or one hundred thousand of your emails. It’s whatever seems reasonable to you.
